When it comes to team members of The Avengers, the four major players are the ones that are going to drive the universe forward. When it comes to the not so popular players (Black Widow, Hawkeye, Nick Fury) you can’t really see them getting their own movie. This might not be the case with Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow.
Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios producer, mentions in a recent interview on how Johansson’s Black Widow character has a major role in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
[Black] Widow’s part in that is very big. [In Avengers: Age of Ultron], we learn more about her past and learn more about where she came from and how she became in that film. The notion of exploring that even further in her own film would be great, and we have some development work with that.
He then talked about how Captain America; The Winter Soldier leads right in the Avengers sequel.
We wanted to change the dynamic of the cinematic universe with this film. We wanted Cap and really the entire cinematic universe to be very different at the end of Winter Soldier than it is at the beginning. Therefore when we meet the Avengers at the top of Age of Ultron, it’s a very different landscape than we left them at the end of the film. Partially that’s because we love the rhythm that the comic books have developed – each of the characters appear in their runs, occasionally they get together for a big event or crossover series, they part again, and then they come back together again.
When it comes to badasses, Natasha Romanoff is right up there in badassery. But it doesn’t necessarily need to be just her in the movie. The story can center around her character, but Hawkeye and Nick Fury could be players within the story. I think it would be bold and great if they did it, simply because there really hasn’t been much when it comes to women superhero flicks. We are getting a Wonder Woman movie sometime in the next 5 years, but maybe Marvel will beat DC to the punch yet again. Let me know your thoughts about the idea.
